Pop Star’s Parents Opening Italian Restaurant in NYC CheapOair Staff January 25, 2012 general Dance on Over to Joanne Trattoria New York loves Lady Gaga, which may be why her parents are opening up an Italian restaurant in the Big Apple. Whether or not droves of people come in for a taste is yet to be seen but they do have Chef Art Smith in their pocket. He was Oprah’s personal cook at one point. The restaurant, to be located on the Upper West Side, will be named Joanne Trattoria and is expected to be open next Wednesday. With Lady Gaga all ready mentioning their restaurant, it’s sure to be a success. Would you stop in the next time you’ve got a flight to New York? Photo: TJ Sengel Source: Death and Taxes Mag
